A bit like Tai Chi
The sea moves rhythmically
Ebbing and flowing

Grandad

Grandad on my mother’s side,

Was a Yorkshire miner,

Before he went to war.

He was as tough as old boots,

As small men often are –

And sly as an old fox,

Who knows how to impress,

The opposite sex:

Sithee young ’un,

If tha wants to catch ‘er eye,

Mek up stories about tha self,

And don’t e be put off,

If she don’t believe e,

Look er in’t eye,

n ge er a good wink!

If any poem strikes a chord with you, tell me. Only I will see it.
